Yes, in the past several hundred years, at any given time, there have been brilliant physicists. I've known/worked for some of the best. There are one or two who really stand out in each era of physics, and Einstein overlapped several of these. Newton, Kepler, Galileo, Maxwell, et al are the true greats, and Einstein is in that category.
What really is interesting is the islands of usage in the different IM systems. I use Gaim exclusively, have something like 250 buddies in the aggregate list, of which about a third are active. 90+% of them are AIM. Small number are Yahoo. MSN users countable on the fingers of one mutilated hand.
A better question about money is what Ballmer does with his life. We know what Gates & Allen have done, and their actions are news worthy, but what about the guy who looks ready to pop a vein when the cameras are on him?
I'm far from a Microsoft or Ballmer fanboi, but he and his wife Connie are well-known here in scenic Bellevue as major benefactors of the local medical center, Overlake
Sure you can do it in a totally captive corporate environment (sort of), but companies like "Disappearing Inc" tried to make it a product/service combo. As far as I can tell, it was an utter failure. Email -is- an archival medium. Which is why it shows up in the discovery phase of just about every business civil action these days. SMSes are generally not worth bothering with, in the "I'm waiting for you at the OTHER end of the pub"...
On CyberMonday, my whole family stands in line for hours to buy stuff on the Internet! It gets to fisticuffs and hair-pulling when it comes to grabbing the mouse and clicking on the 'Complete Purchase' button!
I often used Broadvoice (unlimited plan) with Asterisk. They have always been open. If it were not for their business/operational mess which effectively shut them down for a month, I'd still be a customer.
Guess you think Slashdot is crap merely because it is a closed system that insists on controlling all ends of the transaction.
Bullshit, ozzie. I can use any browser, on any OS I choose, on any hardware I choose, via the internet service of my choice, to get to Slashdot to read your inane statement.
Skype and Vonage are both crap in my perspective, because they are closed systems that insist on controlling all ends of the transaction. Vonage is OK for clueless Aunt Sadie, but any added functionality or interoperability is completely in their hands. If these guys would allow any SIP or IAX connection in, or out, then they'd be useful.

Texas, where perjury is just a technicality, when you want to start a war based on lies, and as an accidental side benefit, your buddies rake in billions!

Get over it.
Use Linux.
Use a Mac.
I'm sure the alpha-geeks will be camping around the block to be the first ones in line at midnight to get this fine technology!
Which only displays the numeral "6" in large repetitive multiples, usually in triplets.
I'll use it for my KDE start sound...

Yeah! Tell me about it... keep your damn dog from crapping on my front yard!

Personally, I'd use a trombone. Exerts far more authority than a violin, when staging an insurrection.
A demented illiterate moron from Texas wreaks havoc, and THIS is 'approaching the yuck factor'? Dude, we are wayyyyy beyond that.

Another frivolous patent.
Patently ridiculous!
